Review & Preview Videos
Quick Note: Spacers was originally a Kickstarter release. While the game was well recieved by reviewers, the crowdfunding campaign did not meet its goal due to lack of marketing expertise on the part of the creator (myself). Most of the videos mention Kickstarter, but the campaign is no longer active. Just a heads up! - Tyler

Notes
- This game contains laser cut components. Laser cut items will have a slight amount of soot around the edges, which can easily be wiped off; and will have a campfire smell for about a week after you open them.
